Emotional competence involves the ability to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically. This includes responding to others' emotions and managing one's own feelings effectively, making option C the correct answer. Emotional competence is broader than just sympathizing with others (B) or being similar to therapeutic communication (D), and it is distinct from intelligence quotient (IQ), which measures cognitive abilities (A).
